Abstract

To form the professional competence of future doctors using the reproductive method in this paper has been developed a methodology for conducting the laboratory work on medical and biological physics. Laboratory work is based on the use of general-purpose devices, such as a pulse oximeter, designed to determine the level of oxygen in the lungs and to establish the relationship of this parameter with other important characteristics of the body.

One of the important factors in the healthy functioning of the body is satisfactory oxygen saturation of the lungs. The reduction of this indicator is the source of a number of diseases in its initial stage, including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Therefore, it is necessary to use a simple devices and widely available method of monitoring oxygen levels in the lungs. One of such devices is a pulse oximeter. The purpose of this work is to develop practical skills of working with a pulse oximeter on the example of laboratory work and the ability to interpret the results.

The work has a theoretical and applied nature. The problem was solved using a standard pulse oximeter. The developed technique allows to establish the limits of use of this device and to establish the relationship between oxygen levels and such characteristics of the body as heart rate and temperature.

The main result of the work is a developed method of laboratory work on the use of a standard pulse oximeter in combination with a tonometer and thermometer to diagnose the body and detect violations of oxygen supply to the body in the early stages.

Availability and ease of use of devices allow to expand the boundaries of the educational process: students can access the measuring devices at a time convenient for them and the teacher and conduct a set of studies in a clinical setting.

Developed laboratory work to study the structure and principle of operation of the pulse oximeter showed the possibility of diagnosing problems with the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in the early stages of their manifestation. The methods of statistical processing established the existence of a correlation between such parameters as SpO2 - pulse and SpO2 - temperature, which allows according to pulse oximetry data to control the general condition of the body by a simple method.
